About the piece
Created in 1914, Robert Delaunay's 'Fenêtres sur la ville' (Windows on the City) is a quintessential example of Orphism, a movement that prioritized pure color and geometric abstraction. The work transforms an urban view into a dynamic dance of light and form, exploring the perception of movement through prismatic shapes. This piece, executed in wax paint, retains a beautiful textural depth that enhances its luminous quality.
